Today’s haiku

One of my Rhoddie’s

into the spring sky
my gaze drifting into where
yesterday's clouds were

Today’s Haiku, April 2. 2024

My rhododendron
a burst of sunlight 
feeding the new spring flowers
a break in the rain

Tonight’s Haiku

wonders of daylight
as slowly the sun descends
and spring now begins

I took this photo on my evening walk along the waterfront in Edmonds. Sunsets over the Olympics are some of my favorites.

Today’s Haiku, March 17 2024

the snows have faded
cherry blossoms take over
within sun drenched skies

I took this photo on my walk today.


Tonight’s Haiku,  March 14, 2024

as I face the west
sunset’s grace on the mountains
the air turns colder

I took this photo on my walk this evening along Edmonds’ Marina Beach. Is one of my favorite places,  period. Some of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen are looking out at the Olympic Mountains of Washington.

Oh,  and happy Pi Day, for those who celebrate.

Today’s Haiku, March 2, 2024

the dance of sunlight
through the rain and falling snow
winter’s grip remains

I took this photo on my walk this afternoon. One filed with rain and snow, abs a stop for coffee.

Walking at night: a haiku

Tonight’s haiku
walking through the cold
feeling the grace of the night
soon the rains return

It was a good night for a walk. Brisk air was mitigated by my jacket. My main challenge: being near invisible to the passing cars. But most of my walk was far off the main roads. Thus, my key sensation was tranquility.

FWOC: Maximum

A blogger I follow, WoollyMuses, posted his contribution to Fandango’s One Word Challenge: Maximum. So, I thought I’d add to that.

Manzanita Sunset
the grace of daylight 
sunlight moves across the sky
onwards to the west

The photo above is one I took in Manzanita, Oregon a few days ago. Shot with my Samsung S22.

Ferry At Golden Hour


descending sunlight
embraces golden hour
facing the sunset

After the rainfall


Raindrops on leaves

after the rain squall 
laden branches bent downwards
gravity's demands
